Abstract
This chapter presents various methods for the preparation of graphene reinforced polymeric nanocomposites. For common thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, generally used techniques are solution casting, melt blending, and in situ polymerization. Solution technique is considered better than the melt method in terms of graphene dispersion in the polymeric matrices. In situ polymerization method has also been considered beneficial in attaining homogeneous dispersal of nanofiller in polymers and superior physical properties. However, these methods have relative advantages and disadvantages to be employed for better processed graphene-derived nanocomposites. Several challenges need to be overcome to optimize the processing parameters to fabricate the high-performance polymer/graphene nanocomposites.
